ACTION ALERT - Chokecherry


TAKE ACTION!
Chokecherry Sierra Madre Wind Energy Project Comment Period

The Issue: Comments for the Chokecherry Sierra Madre wind energy project are due October 19th. The 223,000 acre project south of Rawlins, will include 1,000 turbines in addition to associated ancillary facilities. Wyoming Wildlife Federation urges sportsmen to write to the Bureau of Land Management to request that the project be constructed to minimize impacts to wildlife, recreation, and the landscape.

Background: This area provides habitat for mule deer, elk, pronghorn, greater sage-grouse and Colorado River fish species. Additionally the area provides unique recreational opportunities for local sportsmen and women.

What Can You Do? Let the BLM know that development of wind energy, like traditional energy development on public lands should be done in a responsible manner. Wind energy development should be balanced with the many uses our public lands provide.
